NZ Transport Agency

Land Transport Act 1998

Land Transport Rules

In accordance with section 161(2) of the Land Transport Act 1998, the NZ Transport Agency, on behalf of the Minister of Transport, gives notice of the Minister’s intention to make a Rule to amend Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Dimensions and Mass 2002 (the Rule).

The proposed amendment would replace the current paragraph (a) of the item "Auckland Motorways" in Schedule 7 of the Rule with:

"(a) Loads that exceed 4.25m in height are permitted to travel on State Highway 1 between Ramarama Interchange (Ararimu Road Underpass) and the southern end of the Auckland Southern Motorway."

The amendment would effectively restore the exception that applied prior to 1 April 2011 when Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Dimensions and Mass Amendment 2011 came into force and, at the same time, would remove the distinction between overdimension vehicles that exceed 4.7m in height and those that do not.

The exception is necessary because of the height restriction that applies on the adjacent Great South Road.

Further details of the proposed amendment are available on the NZ Transport Agency’s website at

www.nzta.govt.nz/consultation/vehicle-dimensions-and-mass-amendment-2012/index.html

Comments on this proposed amendment should be emailed to rules@nzta.govt.nz or posted to Vehicle Dimensions and Mass Amendment, Rules Team, NZ Transport Agency, Private Bag 6995, Wellington 6141, to reach the NZ Transport Agency by 5.00pm on 28 September 2012.

For further information, contact the Rules Team at the above address.

Dated at Wellington this 18th day of September 2012.
